Chapter 314

The direction of the comments on the website all turned to a direction that was not conducive to the continued existence of the living festival Kaguya Hime - Sakuragawa Kuro, who experienced death again, grasped the future that Iwanaga Kotoko needed, and then resurrected again, and continued to be entangled with the living festival Kaguya Hime, delaying the pace of the ghost story that wanted to leave.

"This is the first hypothesis advocated by the mysterious side." Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the screen in front of him filled with messages popping up from the website, and speculated on the result of Iwanaga Kotoko's attack. "However, this incident should not be solved so smoothly. I just hope that it won't come to the point where we have to use the story that Professor William and his team gathered together to add bricks and tiles..."

"If that story is used, this incident will not end well... The problem will change from a ghost story to an unsolved case like Jack the Ripper. And the uncontrollable fantasy of having a clear target of fear will give rise to a new monster that is as dangerous as the living sacrifice of Kaguya-hime."

"Senior?" Mashu, who was just reporting the recent operations to the control room, turned his head to look at Fujimaru Ritsuka, "Did anything unexpected happen?"

"No, everything is as expected. I was just thinking about the story that Professor William and the others made up." Fujimaru Ritsuka shook his head at Marsh and sighed heavily. "Although that story still denies the possibility of the living sacrifice of Kaguya, it is very likely to make things worse."

"As expected of Moriarty, the head of a criminal group. The story they told was that the ghost story was a metaphor for a large transnational criminal group engaged in the human organ trade, and that this morning's death was caused by someone trying to disguise the scene where the bodies were found as a living sacrifice of Kaguya-hime."

"Hey, why did Mr. William and the others prepare such a story?" Marsh blinked in surprise and went to Fujimaru Ritsuka to confirm the content of the story, "A large-scale transnational criminal group or something..."

"The main point is the trade of human organs." Roman sighed on the other end of the line and gave Marsh some additional information. "As you know, the sub-servant experiments promoted by Director Marisbury in the past directly violated international norms in terms of materials... But it is basically impossible for a magician to follow the rules of ordinary society."

"You were born after several rounds of gene editing to meet the requirements of the experiment - and the creation of gene-edited humans is prohibited internationally."

"It's not appropriate to use Mash as an example here, right? She is a test tube baby - different from another technology that is closely connected to human organs and seriously challenges ethics." The demon god who stayed in the control room in human form joined the conversation, "In addition to spending a lot of money to cultivate clones as organ donors... For rich and powerful people who don't care about social rules, isn't there a more convenient way to obtain usable organs?"

"The black market for organs - ahaha, is it because the ghost stories mention that gods have their bodies broken down into different parts?" Fujimaru Ritsuka shrugged, turned around and looked at the projections of the people in the communication array to confirm the answer, "And the so-called realization of wishes, satisfying desires means using money to satisfy one's wishes..."

"From this perspective, Director Marisbury's wish for a large amount of funds to maintain the operation of Chaldea is like directly dismantling the Greater Holy Grail and using it as a perpetual motion machine to supply energy to Chaldea."

"After all, enough currency can indeed satisfy people's desires without limit." Goldruff twirled his beard and agreed with Fujimaru Ritsuka's idea. "After all, in the society of ordinary people, most desires can be satisfied as long as there is enough money - in other words, money is the Holy Grail of ordinary society, the 'universal wishing machine'."

"May I know who prepared this story?"

"Moriarti - James Moriarty, James Moriarty Lily, William James Moriarty. The story is colored by Dr. Watson." Fujimaru Ritsuka blinked and introduced Goldroof, "He has the style of an excellent mathematician and the Napoleon of the criminal world, doesn't he?"

"If Ruler's Moriarty joins, it would make sense to regard the power of wish-granting as money stained with sin." Goldroof curled his lips and cast his eyes on the main screen of the control room, which was occupied by BB to broadcast the debate on the ghost story website. "The direction of the comments has reversed again..."

"But this time, it doesn't deny that the sacrifice of Kaguya-hime attacked passersby for the sake of others, not for herself." Roman took a sip of coffee and added to the people in the control room, "Counting the point that Ritsuka's previous reasoning was pure speculation and was not overturned, now we have two points that can be used as the foundation of a new story."

"I should be able to make up a story that will convince people that ghost stories don't exist."

"No, I'm afraid that with only three hypotheses, it's not possible to completely put an end to this battle." Fujimaru Ritsuka took a deep breath and asked Ashiya Michiman and Abe Haruaki, "If the third hypothesis still wants to use the mysterious reality as a breakthrough to overthrow the living festival Kaguya-hime, what do Lord Haruaki and Mr. Ashiya think?"

"From the first perspective, he mentioned the divine body in the name of a very powerful member of the shrine." Asaya Michimitsu stroked his chin with a smile and looked at Abe Haruaki, "And then-"

"Then make up a simple story to prove that the legend of the living Kaguya-hime is a misunderstanding." Abe Haruaki yawned uninterested, and continued with Asaya Michiman's raised head, "Finally, tell everyone that the demon who was regarded as the living Kaguya-hime has been subdued, and will be suppressed along with the divine body. In the future, no one will encounter the living Kaguya-hime again."

"I believe that the princess has enough connections to cover up this lie."

"Well, I'll trouble you to write the third story next—" Fujimaru Ritsuka stood up and left his seat, smiling and winking at Abe Haruaki and Ashiya Michiman, "I'll go talk to Edmund and ask him to help us find Iwanaga Kotoko to cover our comments on the website. By the way, Lord Haruaki, it would be better to use a more recognizable online name."

"I saw the speech from the Monster An earlier - let's continue to use Hakusan 'Hakusan'." Abe Haruaki decided on the name of the next speech quite casually, and after watching BB finish modifying the name of the speech, she pressed Asaya Michimitsu in front of the keyboard, "The job of writing the story is left to you - the person who writes the story."

On the other side, Iwanaga Kotoko was discussing the next strategy with the monster abbot Abe Harusai on the other end of the phone.

"The direction of the recovery has completely reversed in an instant." Abe Harusai sat in the Monster Temple and discussed with Iwanaga Kotoko while looking at the website page, "What should we do next, Princess?"

"Although I'd like to say that I have a way to solve this problem, or that Kuro-senpai can directly solve the living festival Kaguya-hime..." Iwanaga Kotoko sighed, looking at the empty input box on the computer screen, "But pure fiction is indeed much more troublesome to break through. If we just go back to the side that clearly believes that the living festival Kaguya-hime does not exist, it will cause even greater trouble, Itsuki."

"So we need at least one hypothesis that assumes that the living Kaguya-hime is the demon—"

"Master asked me to tell you something." Edmund took a quick look at the battle situation at the fork in the road and confirmed that Sakuragawa Kuro would be safe in the short term. He quickly relayed what Fujimaru Ritsuka asked him to say to Iwanaga Kotoko, "Do you know anyone who works at a well-known shrine that most people would consider reliable?"

"I guess you've heard of this name - Hakusan, the same as Sirayama. The younger generation's performance was really disappointing, so she's going to take the stage herself - but she needs you to cover up for her real identity a little bit."

After Edmund returned to the battlefield, Iwanaga Kotoko asked Abe Harusai, who had been silent for a long time, "You have had contact with Hakusan before. Do you know her true identity?"

"The legislator said she was Abe Haruaki - the great Onmyoji Abe Haruaki from a thousand years ago." Abe Harusai ignored the monster An that appeared on the scroll and complained about his words, and told Iwanaga Kotoko the current known information. "She also came up with the term 'divine cast body', but I didn't realize she could tell stories."

"Hmm... let's not rush to confirm these people's minor problems for now. Anyway, we are all on the same side now, and there will always be a chance to confirm the situation later." Iwanaga Kotoko pursed her lips and looked at the laptop screen, paying attention to the replies that kept popping up. "However, looking at the current situation, I'm afraid you will have to follow up on the follow-up of the previous case next."

"This is just the beginning - just like this time's living festival Kaguya-hime was just Ms. Rikka saying hello to me. She was just using this incident to prove to me that the fictions she created are more powerful than in the past - this time, apart from the crime scene this morning, there is almost no part that can be connected to reality."

"In the last Steel Man Nanase case, I used clues from real-life case investigation records to weave four stories in a row before I crushed the urban legend in Makurazaka City in one fell swoop. But this time, it's a legend story that doesn't even have a single clue related to reality. After I posted a reply, someone used today's case as a starting point and showed several possibilities of the murderer based on reality."

——After that, Iwanaga Kotoko continued the story based on the non-realistic background where gods, demons, monsters and ghosts exist.

Then, Kuro Sakuragawa saw the future when Iwanaga Kotoko's hypothesis was accepted by people, and Rikka Sakuragawa quickly used her ability to change the direction of the reply content - the war was still at a stalemate, and Abe Haruaki had already watched Asaya Doman complete the preliminary fabrication of the story, and with a little adjustment, it could be directly posted to the post that was being hotly discussed.

"If that's the case... I think we can get away with it, right?"

——I hope the Master doesn’t really have to use the story that Moriarty completed.
